A hair transplant is generally not painful because anesthesia is used, though you may feel mild discomfort during and after the procedure.

Hair Transplant Techniques
At Esthetic Clinic Dubai, we pride ourselves on offering only the most sophisticated, evidence-based hair restoration techniques. The best results are not just about adding hair, but about artistically recreating a natural hairline with precision and care. Our methods are designed for minimal discomfort, swift recovery, and truly undetectable results.
| Aspect | FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) | DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) | PRP Therapy (Complementary) |
| Description | Individual follicular units are meticulously harvested one-by-one from the donor zone and implanted into tiny, pre-made incisions in the recipient area. | The most advanced method. Follicles are extracted and immediately implanted using a specialized Choi pen, eliminating the need for pre-made incisions. | A non-surgical treatment where the patient’s own Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is injected to stimulate healing and hair growth. |
| Key Benefit | Gold-standard versatility. No linear scar, allowing for very short hairstyles. | Unmatched precision & density. Superior control over graft angle, depth, and placement for the most natural result. | Hair growth booster. Enhances the health and survival of transplanted and existing native hair. |
| Invasiveness | Minimally invasive. | Minimally invasive, often with less overall trauma to the scalp. | Non-surgical, minimally invasive. |
| Best For | Small to large sessions. Patients who wear their hair short. Correcting scars from previous transplants. | Maximum density in a single session. Refining hairlines. Patients seeking the shortest possible recovery. | Early-stage hair loss (to slow thinning). Pre- and post-transplant care to improve graft survival and accelerate healing. |
| Downtime | 3-7 days for redness and scabbing to subside. | 2-5 days; often results in faster healing due to less handling of grafts. | None. Resume normal activities immediately. |
| Ideal Candidate | Those with stable donor areas and defined patterns of loss. | Anyone seeking the highest possible quality and naturalness, especially for the hairline. | Almost anyone experiencing thinning hair, either alone or combined with a transplant. |
Which Technique is Right for You?
The choice between FUE and DHI isn’t about which is “better” in absolute terms, but about which is better for you. This decision is made during your consultation based on:
- The extent of your hair loss
- The quality and density of your donor hair
- Your desired hairline design and density goals
- Your lifestyle and recovery preferences
The Hair Transplant Process at Esthetic Clinic Dubai
| Step | What to Expect |
| 1. Consultation | A comprehensive scalp analysis & detailed plan discussion. |
| 2. Procedure | A comfortable experience under local anesthesia. |
| 3. Recovery | Minimal downtime; most return to work in 2-3 days. |
| 4. Results | New growth begins in 3-4 months, maturing fully by 12 months. |
Results
| Time After Surgery | What to Expect | Key Notes & Tips |
| 1 – 2 Weeks | Scabs form and naturally fall off. The transplanted hairs may shed – this is completely normal (shock loss). | The scalp may look red initially. Do not pick at scabs. The shed hair is just the shaft, the follicle is safe under the skin. |
| 1 – 3 Months | The “ugly duckling” or dormant phase. The scalp looks unchanged as new hair roots strengthen beneath the surface. | This is the toughest phase. Trust the process. The follicles are actively preparing for growth. |
| 3 – 4 Months | Initial regrowth begins! You’ll see fine, soft, and sometimes curly hairs starting to peek through. | Growth is often uneven at first. Color and texture may initially differ from your native hair. |
| 6 Months | Clear, noticeable improvement. Hair grows thicker, darker, and denser. The overall pattern becomes visible. | This is when most patients begin to feel a significant boost in confidence. |
| 9 Months | Significant progress. The transplanted areas fill in considerably, providing much fuller coverage. | Hair continues to mature, becoming stronger and blending seamlessly with your existing hair. |
| 12 – 18 Months | Final, full results are visible. Your hair is now strong, natural-looking, and permanently established. You can style it as you wish. | Enjoy your new look! The hair will continue its normal growth cycle for life. |

- Insufficient donor hair for desired coverage
- Medical restrictions that prevent surgery
After care instructions:
- Absolutely no sun exposure on treated areas
- Avoid hair dryers, styling products, dyes or chemicals
- No smoking (delays healing)
- Attend all follow-up appointments
- Take prescribed medications exactly as directed
- Sleep on your back for first two weeks

| Tightness/Itching | 2-7 days | ✅ Specialized spray to relieve itching ✅ Avoid scratching — pat gently if needed |
| Small Scabs | 5-10 days | ✅ Naturally fall off after first shampoo (as guided) ✅ Do not pick — to protect new grafts |
| Numbness | A few weeks | ✅ Normal—nerves heal gradually |
Frequently Ask Question About Hair Transplant Dubai
How do you make it look so Natural?
Art meets science. We study your original hair direction, angle, and density to recreate what nature intended.
What’s the #1 aftercare mistake?
Scratching the scalp too soon. It can dislodge grafts. We give you a full aftercare plan to avoid this.
Can I wear my hair short after FUE?
Yes. FUE leaves only tiny dots invisible even with a buzz cut.
